First of all, thank you PDM for your informative reply- it's rare to find an internet forum where people give thoughtful answers to sincere questions like these. I appreciate it
Yes I agree that the word "shy" probably doesn't apply to be fair. I guess I used it more because whenever we find ourselves in that position, she becomes twitchy (example: sometimes she grabs onto her door handle and starts twisting and fiddling with it, tapping hands, face touching blah blah
)
She does now know the truth about what happened last year and like I said, I'd call us close friends (although I've never been one of the friends she talks to about other guys thankfully)
I guess I would like things to develop but as you can probably tell, we do have a fair amount of "baggage" after last year so that may be an issue for her.. who knows!
Thanks for taking the time to read my question
